Invent Boston is designing the Two Minute Turtle Timer to bring whimsy and science to home routines. The Two Minute Turtle Timer, a spacial and visual timer makes two minute tasks more fun, like toothbrushing, holding poses, waiting, and speaking in meetings.

The Only Curious George Store carries the Two Minute Turtle Timer. The store has the Two Minute Turtle Timer alongside Curious George Goes to the Dentist book and a Curious George toothbrush. The store wants kids to feel better about that all important habit, brushing their teeth. The store is in Harvard Square, Cambridge. The Curious George store Inventory Supervisor bought 2 for her children. “I am so happy my kids use the Two Minute Turtle Timer! And now they like to brush their teeth. They even race each other even though each one goes for the same length. My 4 year old is autistic so the blinking lights are great to keep his attention.”

This holiday season you can get a new, made by hand in the USA, Two Minute Turtle Timer that makes toothbrushing (or yoga or time-outs) more fun and feels like a game. A stocking stuffer kids and grown-ups can both feel great about!
